photography and circumstance

Monthly Archives: October 2010

Today was a beautiful, but chilly and windy day harbor side in Halifax. Early afternoon we took a long stroll along the long boardwalk. I snapped quite a few shots while being buffeted by the wind. Here’s a couple:

Backtracking to two contrasting views from the train ride between Vancouver and Toronto. (These photos were taken on a speeding, jostling train through rather dirty windows.)

This was the view of Mt. Robson (the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies).

And here’s a shot of the Saskatchewan landscape–flat in all directions for hundreds of miles. (Note: this shot was taken in the late afternoon while the train was rolling along at full speed. I used TV mode with the shutter set speed set to 1/640″ to “freeze” the foreground.)

There are many narrow, stone building lined streets in Quebec City. Here’s a close and distant shot of Maggie donning the chartreuse cap–I saw similar views many times today because I was constantly stopping to take a photo.
